SmartCat The Ultimate 32-in Sisal Cat Scratching Post
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
Reach for the stars (and scratch a little when you get there)! The SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post has a 32" post height that allows cats to get a full stretch, tone their muscles, and mark their territory without clawing walls or curtains. It's covered in a fibrous woven sisal that won't snag nails like carpet-covered scratch posts.
Key Benefits- Sturdy 16" x 16" base keeps post from tipping and wobbling.
- 32" post height allows your cat to stretch vertically while using the post (important for territorial marking purposes and for toning muscles).
- Fibrous and durable woven sisal naturally inspires scratching and relieves cat's stress without snagging cats' nails.
- Attractive and neutrally toned to fit in with any home decor.
- Assembles quickly and easily with two included screws.

- Place the post in a room where the cat spends a lot of time. Cats often like to stretch and scratch when they wake up from a nap.
- To introduce the post to your cat try using catnip as a lure. (For most cats a lure is unnecessary, but fun.) Rub catnip onto the sisal material and call the cat over to the post.
- Scratch your nails along the surface of the material. This will attract the cat and at the same time teach him where to scratch.
- After your cat begins to scratch, praise him and give him a food treat. (Small kittens can be trained to climb the post by showing them food treats and placing it at the top of the post.
- If your cat has already been scratching a piece of furniture, place the post directly in front of it.
- Temporarily cover the previously scratched areas with a few strips of double-sided carpet tape or clear double-sided tape strips that are designed for this purpose. This will help redirect your cat’s scratching activities to the post.

Had kittens on it before I got it all the way out of the box.
By Katherine on Jan 13, 2021
My very young kittens (8 weeks) took to this thing instantly. I opened the box and they both turned up immediately and climbed aboard. Once I had it assembled, which was easy, they both clawed it and scaled it. The base makes it quite sturdy, so they can lean hard on it and climb it without wobbling. Once I found a location that they really like, they use it often. There may be some hope for the upholstery.

Kitten Training Device
By Babs on Jan 8, 2021
Top quality, good construction, very sturdy and heavy enough to support my 10 pound cat when fully extended while scratching the pole. I'm also using it as a training device for my new kitten. She is beginning to get the idea and is no longer scratching the carpet. Well worth the money.

found this on the street
By ionike on Dec 30, 2020
Someone tossed this out on the sidewalk in great condition -- I took a chance and lugged it home. My two kittens went for it immediately. Miraculously, it became their scratching spot of choice. With daily use for 3 months now, there's barely any fraying. Would defo pick this from my neighbor's trash pile again.

Big fans, recommend!
By Pepp on Dec 31, 2020
Our kitties are big fans of this scratcher. And as you can see from photo it has multiple uses. They scratch, climb and hop all over this. It’s tall - so this very long boy can really stretch out - and heavy, never have to worry about it falling over. Highly recommend. :)

Great post
By Catlover on Dec 16, 2020
My two cats love their scratching posts. This one is tall enough for them to fully extend as far as they want. The weave is tight; we’ve had this for a year and I’d say it’s only halfway used. Bonus: it doesn’t shed scraps that they’ve scratched off. I love this. We will always keep one in the house.

Very sturdy and highly recommend
By Karlee on Jan 6, 2021
My cat is a big boy and he loves this scratcher . He can stand up & scratch and he doesn’t knock this over. It’s easy to assemble. This is actually very reasonably priced Compared to others that are the same size.

Scratching post
By Piper on Jan 2, 2021
Easy to put together . The verdict is still out on the product . I put cat nip on as suggested but my cat won’t touch it yet . Sometimes it takes a week or two when I introduce something new to her . I hope she’ll like it .

scratching post
By Dorine on Jan 2, 2021
This is a very sturdy scratching post that will last for years. I have 4 cats and so far only one is using it but I'm sure the others will follow suit when I make the time to train them.

Sturdy and well built but Cats will not go near it.
By Daro on Nov 25, 2020
Researched various scratchers and settled on this one but my cats HATE the plastic type material on the post. Won’t touch it! Looks great but useless to me. Sorry I bought it!

Cats Love It And It Looks Good
By Adinnj on Oct 28, 2020
This is the third one of these I've bought in 12 years. My cats wear them out! It is so easy to assemble - I've never experienced any of the problems other reviewers have mentioned, thank goodness. It is sturdy, too; the cats never tip it over. And it blends in nicely without looking like an out of place cat toy. I was also grateful that I received notice from Chewy of a price drop so I was able to purchase it at the best price ever.
